Sophie Etheridge

Joining Birmingham as a rookie Etheridge made an early and immediate impact on the team, featuring strongly for the Lions B team, as both a receiver and half-back (and DB!), and as such she finished the domestic season as one of the Lions’ tidiest offensive weapons (ranked 4th in yards gained and 3rd in TDs scored). To top an already promising season this diminutive flyer was recently selected to the Great Britain squad that successfully defeated Russia in May; her football future is bright.
